The Land of the Four Suns
Ch. 6 - False Gods
Tharfield Castle, Kingdom of Clandestine.
"Please, Your Majesty the King. Rudolf of the eastern border came facing."
"Rudolf, there's a need for what you came here for. I wouldn't listen if it was just a little news about the Verenian Pallace again" said a creature sitting on a crocodile skull-shaped throne.
He was busy reading books regardless of someone coming. His fingers, which had very long nails, opened the sheet of paper carefully.
"This is important news, Your Honor. He has risen," answered a small snake which then turned into a handsome young man.
"Him? You mean who?" The figure that His Majesty called the King was starting to get interested in the news Rudolf brought. He also gave the book he read to a lady.
"Ezekiel, God of Intelligence" said Rudolf."
"Oh, huh? It's catchy. How did you know how he was? Their Queen must have been hard-earned to hide her whereabouts" said Claude Kanezka, the Lord of the Kingdom of Clandestine.
"Of course I know, Your Majesty. The scent of man from the twenty-first century is very different for our nation" Rudolf said.
"Then how did it go after tens of thousands of years of deep sleep?" ask Claude. The figure could not hide the wide smile on his face.
"He is still the same as the weak human figure of the twenty-first century, Your Majesty," said Rudolf, a half-demon creature that could transform into monstrous beasts.
"The weakest god, huh? It's getting interesting. I want to see first what other games Queen Azura does."
Claude got off his throne. He walked on the side of the fountain which also flowed boiling lava in the middle of the palace room.
"The queen of the land of the Four Suns must not know, if all this time we realize their God of Intelligence is a fake. The one who's been in charge this whole time is Balck Shade." Claude laughed a lot.
"Unexpectedly, the Queen whom they had been praising for thousands of years, was deceiving the entire kingdom with the false God of Intelligence which he had created himself from his magic. The Black Shade is just a dark part of the Queen" Claude said.
With the existence of the weakest God in the Kingdom of Vierstone, it was certainly easier for Claude to carry out his plan.
"Yes, Your Majesty. But don't forget, Black Shade is still around the Queen. We have to have a mature plan, to do just that" Rudolf said.
"Of course, Rudolf. You know, right? I'm dubbed the smartest King of the century?" said Claude. "I won't let my guard down a bit. So, report to me the latest news from the Kingdom of Viersonne" he continued.

"Is this the past or the future? Why did it become like medievalism? Duh, I miss the internet. My life is empty without the internet."
Arsa rolled over on her very wide bed. He felt that time was going very slowly, or not changing at all.
As a person who has lived in modern times, gadgets and the internet are something that cannot be separated from life. Even for some people, it is more important than eating.
Then now? Not internet. Engine vehicles alone cannot be used, due to changes in magnetic fields and some basic systems of physics. How confusing.
"So I've been with the Queen pioneering this empire for three thousand years? Why do I not remember anything about this world? Did they keep a lie?" arsa is suspicious.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Please, God. It's me Lily. What do you want for breakfast?" ask the beautiful woman in white.
"Chicken on level nine" said Arsa.
"I'm sorry?" The woman with the Lily flower-shaped hairpin frowned.
"Ah, no. I was just kidding. I want the usual meal" Arsa said later. Arsa was actually not sure, what she used to eat at this time.
"Breakfast, huh? Does this mean it's morning?" Arsa said.
"Really, milord. You can look east. A small, blue-colored star seemed to shine in the sky. That means morning" Lily explained.
"That's it, huh? I had no sleep at all" he murmured softly. "Oh, Lily. Didn't you ever serve rice? Or did the Queen make a ban on eating rice?"
"Nation? What do you mean, foods that have high levels of carbohydrates and sugar, from the Oryza Sativa plant?" lily asked while frowning her forehead.
"Yes, right. It means from the rice."
"Since the great cataclysm ten thousand years ago, that kind of plant and triticum are no longer here" Lily said.
"All of his seeds were crushed by lava and a burning asteroid. Researchers have always failed to genetically engineer plants of that type" continued the white fairy.
"Ah, what a pity. Though it's the most delicious food in the world, let alone use super spicy sambal ulek," said Arsa.
"Hm?" Lily doesn't understand what Arsa is saying.
"Already, don't think too much. I just want to remember the past. The food here is delicious, too."
"So this morning's breakfast menu of rabbit bacon with mushroom sauce and habanero chili powder?" The woman mentioned a very strange menu.
"Y-yes? Yes, yes," said Arsa.
"Well, I'll be ready soon."
Suddenly ... "Please, God. Rania Wichery, Her Majesty the Queen's main lady-in-waiting is coming." There was a soft but firm female voice, outside Arsa's private room.
"His Majesty the Queen? All right, please come in," said Arsa aka Ezekiel.
